  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuki Soma, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yeltsin Tejeda made 7 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Keysher Fuller suffering a number of foals already.
